Brandon Ingram says chemistry with Luke Walton and Lonzo Ball is "really good"
The Lakers' forward talked to HoopsHype about several topics
The Los Angeles Lakers now have in Brandon Ingram a promising player who seems to have finally found his rhythm in the NBA. After a decent rookie season, the former No. 2 overall draft pick has been doing a good job so far this season as he's averaging 16.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.
The former Duke forward talked to HoopsHype's Alex Kennedy about several topics, including the relationship he has built with his coach Luke Walton and his new teammate Lonzo Ball.
"Chemistry-wise, we’re really good," Ingram said on his relationship with Luke Walton. "Everybody gets along. Me and Coach Walton have a really good relationship. I can always go to him, even to talk about things that I don’t like. We’ve developed a relationship where we can always talk about the different things that we’re seeing on the floor. We discuss how we can get better [as a team] and how I can get better individually.
"Our chemistry has been really good and I think it’s going to keep getting better as we figure out each other’s game," Ingram said on his relationship with Lonzo Ball. "Sometimes, we have plays where I just tell him where I want to be on the floor and he’ll get me the ball just like that. Our chemistry off the floor is really good too. He’s going to be a really good player."
When asked about the players he studies and tries to learn from, Ingram mentioned Giannis Antetokounmpo's ability to go to the rim, Kevin Durant's pull-up jumper, and Shaun Livingston's post work and ability to shoot over guys.
"My goal is just to get better every single night. I think if you set goals to be the best in the present time, then the future will handle itself. I think, as a team, it’s the same way. We just need to get better every single night – knowing that this is a process, but trying to be impatient with it. Go in every single day, be the best that you can be and live with the results."
